New York, NY - Mayor Bloomberg's health commissioner, Thomas Frieden, the man behind regulating Metziza B'Peh, has been approached about taking over the State Department of Health under governor-elect Eliot Spitzer, as was reported on VOS IZ NEIAS. But a source close to the commissioner said Dr. Frieden was staying at his city post, where he is one of Mr. Bloomberg's most trusted commissioners and has the freedom to push an aggressive public health agenda.
Dr. Frieden, has been key in helping Mr. Bloomberg leave his public health mark on the city.
Other names that have been mentioned as possible state health commissioners are Jon Cohen, a former chief medical officer at North Shore Long Island Jewish Health System, and the head of the United Hospital Fund, James Tallon.
